Impossible to Say Goodbye

Coldness has become my friend

The dark of night wraps around

Joy has gone astray

Uncertain feelings hold me down

A life has been lost

But a life shall be gained

When a new day arrives

You will be here again

When all unfolds

Confusion cleared – and I can see

I will not stand alone

You will live inside of me

You are a breeze upon my face

Invisible to my eye

Forever you will always remain

Impossible – to say goodbye

Written after the death of my mother.  Even when someone has gone, and essence still remains.  Everything they were and all they did for you will still be alive.

The Trouble with Washing Cars

The color was white

but the winter has been hard

even for the cars.

 

“You need to wash it,”

they said to me more than once

“It is a white car.”

 

At last, I listened

and I paid ten whole dollars

to wash the car clean.

 

The very next day

it rained and snowed and rained more

on my so clean car.

 

That is not the end,

as I drove home on wet roads

scowling the whole ride

 

a dirty mean rock

left a chip in my windshield.

Bleeping-bleep rock chip.

 

Yes, this is a drought

(sigh) so I should be thankful

for all the moisture.

 

And am I grateful?

I have no pleasant comment –

ask me later, k?

Abraham and Isaac

Genesis 22

Abraham said to Isaac,

“Son, come with me.

It is time to sacrifice

come learn and see.”

 

Isaac walked with Abraham,

and saw his father shed a tear.

Finally he asked softly ,

“Why did we come here?”

 

Abraham taught Isaac,

“Son, the Lord is leading me

we made a covenant

and I am not sure how it will be.

Right now, I am lost

I cannot see the end

but I trust the Lord

because he hears me again and again.

This has caused sleepless nights

filled with prayer and fret.

All I know is it will work out

but I do not know how, quite yet.

I love you son,

always know I love you

this thing I have been asked

is the hardest I will ever do.

I do not know how but I believe

a miracle is in store

because the Lord keeps his promises

forevermore, forevermore.

Do you trust me son?

Trust in me like I trust the Lord

there are blessings

that are in store.”

Isaac replied to Abraham,

“I am not sure I can see

but I trust in you

and I know this must be.”

 

Abraham offered Isaac,

but an angel stopped his hand.

The lesson was taught

so all could understand.

 

The lesson of Abraham and Isaac:

Trust in the covenants you make

because the Lord always does, too.

And know there is one who took your place

and made the sacrifice for you.
